We've seen many things on this island, thanks to Raymond. He's always been available for us, plays golf with Richard, our neighbor and good friend, and has guided us to many positions on Grenda's chart, since most of our choices are coastal to be reached by tourbus.

We are a curious bunch and one of the things that kept coming up was an "oil down".

Raymond got one of his friends who's a chef and invited us to his home for a true, culinary delight, no where else on earth and it's a Grenadian 'OIL DOWN'! Ok, it's like a stew with everything grown here! Chicken, salt fish and pigtails stewed in coconut milk, then vegtables like local pumpkin (nothing like our giants here for Halloween and Fair trophies), callaloo, ochra, breadfruit, plaintains all blended over slow heat with secret spices and love.

There were about 14 of us cruisers and two other friends, students who added a new dimension to our naturally 'nautical' state of mind.

Raymond was a grand host and we are just loving Grenada!

Thanks alot!

Dudley and Bec
